The Telluride was already a premier three-row SUV, offering strong performance, spaciousness, style, and tech with some of the industry’s best value. But Kia doesn’t settle for being one of the pack. The 2027 Telluride has arrived, and it’s more than a facelift or a refresh. This is the next-generation SUV that parents, professionals, and adventurers have been waiting for.
With a revitalized powertrain lineup, new trim levels, an updated interior, and even more connected technology, there are now more reasons to find a Kia Telluride for sale in Brooklyn Park. If you’ve been considering a new premium SUV, now is the time. Let’s take a closer look at the redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride and discover why it’s the new all-around segment leader.
Two Powertrains Include a Strong, Efficient Hybrid
When you’re constantly on the go, you need a capable vehicle that is up to the task. But every driver has different priorities and budgets, and sometimes one engine doesn’t fit all. That’s why the 2027 Kia Telluride is now available with not one but two impressive powertrains.
The big story is the all-new Kia Telluride Hybrid, which delivers the total package of power and efficiency. The 2.5L turbo-four engine, an electric motor, and a six-speed transmission combine for 329 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque, making this large SUV a lean, athletic machine. Kia estimates 35 MPG combined and a 600-mile driving range, meaning you can drive all day without stopping.
Even with the standard gasoline powertrain, the 2027 Telluride has a lot of pop. The base engine has an eight-speed transmission and produces 274 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. That is 49 lb-ft more than the outgoing V6, letting you get off the line quickly. Both powertrains are available with FWD for maximum fuel economy or AWD for more traction on wet and snowy Brooklyn Park roads.
Furthermore, you can tow up to 5,000 lbs, letting you bring a small camper, boat, or other toys on a weekend outing. A self-leveling suspension system is available to improve the balance when you’re hauling a heavy load.
Go Anywhere in the Telluride X-Pro
You may live and work in one of Minnesota’s largest cities, but you’re only a few miles away from some of the nation’s best trails, parks, and wildlands. Do you think you need a second vehicle to explore them? Think again, as Kia has given the Telluride X-Pro lineup more of the off-road grunt you’re looking for.
The X-Pro variants already sported upgrades such as all-terrain tires, more ground clearance, hill descent control, and recovery hooks. The 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro supersizes this off-road commitment with a torrent of new features.
- Kia has installed a new electronic limited-slip differential and given the X-Pro wider tires to improve traction and grip.
- A new Terrain Mode calibrates the AWD system, shift points, and more for conditions such as mud and snow.
- The center differential lock keeps torque split evenly front and rear, making the Telluride work more like a true 4×4 SUV.
- Ground clearance has been increased from 8.4 to 9.1 inches to help you go over obstacles worry-free.
- The 360-degree camera system now includes a Ground View Monitor to warn you of upcoming debris, objects, and dips.
Ground lighting improves nighttime trail visibility and adds bold style.
More Interior Space and Amenities
Along with what’s underneath, Kia has updated the 2027 Telluride’s body and cabin, giving up to eight occupants ultimate comfort. The new Telluride is 2.3 inches longer with a different roofline, increasing headroom and legroom in the second and third rows, making it the roomiest three-row SUV on the market.
Total cargo space remains roughly the same at 86.9 cubic feet, but the gas-powered Telluride now has more room behind the third row at 22.3 cubic feet, letting you pack more luggage even when all the seats are full of family and friends.
Not only is the interior bigger, but it has the luxurious materials and creature comforts you need to drive to work in downtown Brooklyn Park or take a cross-state trip. Front relaxation seats are available with leg rests, ventilation, and a massage function to relieve stress.
Other optional features include heated seats in all three rows, second-row captain’s chairs with power adjustments and climate control, and a power tilting and telescoping steering column with memory settings. For good measure, Kia has made the interior quieter so you can easily chat, listen to music, or make calls.
Innovative New Infotainment
Speaking of music and phones, the 2027 Telluride offers more ways to immerse yourself in an overhauled infotainment system. The Connected Car Navigation Cockpit 12.3-inch dual displays are equipped with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, on-board maps, a generative AI voice assistant, and up to three rows of USB-C ports. Digital Key 2.0 lets you use a smartphone or even a smart watch as a virtual car key. An eight-speaker sound system is standard, and you can upgrade to a 14-speaker Meridian system.
Modern entertainment is all about streaming, and thanks to Kia Entertainment and Data Services, this technology arrives in the 2027 Telluride. Now, when Brooklyn Park drivers are in park, they can watch the latest videos from their YouTube, Netflix, or Disney+ account. Add Kia Connect and choose from a series of Disney and NBA display themes (go Timberwolves!) to personalize the cabin. Other available tech includes dual wireless phone chargers, a 12-inch head-up display, and an automatic universal garage door opener.
Improved Safety Systems
The Telluride has long been one of the safest large SUVs, earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and an NHTSA five-star overall safety rating in 2025. Kia is aiming for the same with the 2027 edition by enhancing an already great vehicle. The body structure now forms a more reliable cocoon against impacts while still absorbing crash forces. There are 10 airbags ready to deploy, including a front-center airbag so that the driver and passenger aren’t flung into each other.
Kia again provides an impressive array of advanced driver assistance systems to aid and protect Brooklyn Park drivers. The standard suite includes:
Forward Collision Avoidance
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
- Highway Driving Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Following Assist 2
- Blind Spot Collision Warnin
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Parking Distance Warning
- Driver Attention Warning
- Safe Exit Assist
- Rear Occupant Alert
- High Beam Assist
The higher trims up the ante with options like Blind-Spot View Monitor and Surround View Monitor, as well as more advanced versions of the standard features, so you always have peace of mind.
